White Clover is the Secret to a Lush, Low Maintenance Lawn

A tried-and-true herbicide-free way to control weeds

White clover adds nitrogen to the soil

Use to top seed an existing lawn or mix with grass seed for new lawns

Before the widespread use of herbicides, most lawns contained white clover. As it grows, clover ensures healthy turf by adding nitrogen to the soil and choking out weeds. This Dutch white clover is well suited to lawns as it is a low-growing variety and has good drought resistance.

Since I just put the seed out - in Tennessee - I will have to wait for a few months to see how it goes. However, the seed was really good looking. I have some clover now and am looking to increase the natural and old timey, to say nothing of healthy, look to the yard. Clover, violets and yes, dandelion.

I am so tired of traditional turf, yet replacing 3000 SF is not practical, so when ever a bald spot appears, I will now plant GS white clover seed. It is a little powerhouse! Such healthy seed, germinating in no time at all and with a bit of water while small, this seed succeeds! I adore seeing the white flowers throughout my turf. The few rabbits in my yard eat the clover, not the other plants in my gardens. Yay!

I couldn't believe that after sowing these seeds early on Sat. Morning that only 2 days later it started to sprout! I now have a green luscious lawn instead of dirt patches and my lawn looks like it did when I was just a kid. Green grass and clover! Thank you for you're wonderfully clover seeds!

You requested this review too early for me to comment on much about this clover. It arrived very promptly, which was greatly appreciated. It germinated so fast that I couldn't believe it was actually the clover we planted only 3 days prior. That was a week ago, and it has grown it's second pairs of leaves, confirming that it really is clover, and doing very nicely!

Planted seed to fill in construction gaps in lawn. We've had a long, slow spring, so the clover is up and growing. I intend to use the remaining seeds as a cover crop in gardening boxes when the growing season ends. Hint: To simplify seeding, mix the tiny seed with an inert substance such as sand in a shaker container.

I bought this clover seed many years ago when I lived in another state and another house as it was low maintenance. Now in a new state and a downsized house, I was so glad to have refound Gardner's supply and the clover...still low maintenance, fills in all the bare spots, lovely to see all the green, and the dogs love to roll in its cushiness! Will keep on purchasing.

Lawn has a bad reputation. It is thought to be difficult, time-consuming and "heavy-feeding." However, that is only true of lawns that have poor soil with little organic matter, worms or other soil life.
